His hand might wound her all-exposed heart
So you see another layout! I know I'm bad, but I made the wall from the picspam about Cupid&Psyche, and I wanted to use it! I have even change the profile header, with Perseus&Io from Clash of the Titans. Ok about these two, I'm a little bit confused, cause I got a crush on the story about Perseus&Andromeda...and Alexa Davalos is sooo beautiful! So I don't know...
Cupid&Psyche
Anyway this is not the usual useless post, cause I'm going to post the picspam I made for the current challange over picspammy and it's about the tale of Cupid&Psyche (also known as Eros&Psyche).
characters.
Caroline Dhavernas: To be honest I don't know her, nor I haven't ever watched her movie. I've found her by chance, and I think she's beautiful and perfect for Psyche!
Lucy Lawless: Xena The Warrior Princess! XD Who doesen't know her? I've seen her even in Spartacus Blood and Sand (the picture is actually taken from the show) and I thought she'd be good as Psyche's mother.
Anthony Head: I thought about Merlin for chosing Psyche's father, and Anthony could be really him!
Sisters:Ok Psyche's sisters are supposed to be uglier (and even older..), but it's hard to find ugly actresses so I chosed them who aren't the best according to me.
Cupid: Eros in Greek mythology, is the primordial god of sexual love and beauty. He is also worshipped as a fertility deity. His Roman counterpart is Cupid, also known as Amor (Love).
Chris Egan: I LOVE HIM! He must be Cupid, he's just perfect!
Venus: is a major Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility, who played a key role in many Roman religious festivals and myths. She is the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite.
Charlize Theron: I think she's the most beautiful actresses in the world and we all know that Venus was the most beautiful goddess, so it was simple to chose her!
Voluptas: In Roman mythology, Voluptas or Volupta, was the beautiful daughter born from the union of Cupid and Psyche. She is known as the goddess of "sensual pleasures".
Amanda Seyfried: I'm getting to adore her, she's cute, nice and her smile is so bright!
Zephyrus: is the Greek god of the west wind. The gentlest of the winds, Zephyrus is known as the fructifying wind, the messenger of spring
Jared Leto: I don't know why him, I was just looking for an actor in my files, and I saw him...and well he could be a good Zephyrus.
Mercury: is the great messenger of the gods in Greek mythology and additionally as a guide to the Underworld. An Olympian god, he is also the patron of boundaries and of the travelers who travel across them, of shepherds and cowherds, of the cunning of thieves and liars,[1] of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics and sports, of weights and measures, of invention, and of commerce in general.
Ben Barnes: benbenbenben....he's gorgeous! XD But that's not the only reason..he could be very gloomy and since Mercury is the guide to the Underworld, I found Ben really good for the role!
Zeus: is the King of the Gods in Greek Mythology. His Roman counterpart was Jupiter
Liam Neeson: srly...have you seen Clash of the Titans? He IS Zeus!
Ceres: is the goddess of growing plants, particularly cereals, usually equated with the Greek goddess Demeter.
Anne Hathway: Ceres in the story helps Psyche, and Anne has a gentle face so that's why I use her!
Proserpina: is an ancient Roman goddess whose story is the basis of a myth of Springtime. She Is the daughter of Ceres, goddess of agriculture and crops and Jupiter, the god of sky and thunder.
Bryce Dallas Howard: Proserpina is described as a very beautiful woman, and I adore Bryce! She's so beautiful!

quotes from Apuleius.
"Am I then to be eclipsed in my honors by a mortal girl? In vain then did that royal shepherd, whose judgment was approved by Jove himself, give me the palm of beauty over my illustrious rivals, Pallas and Juno. But she shall not so quietly usurp my honors. I will give her cause to repent of so unlawful a beauty." Cupid
"Why should you wish to behold me?" he said. "Have you any doubt of my love? Have you any wish ungratified? If you saw me, perhaps you would fear me, perhaps adore me, but all I ask of you is to love me. I would rather you would love me as an equal than adore me as a god." Cupid
"Oh foolish Psyche, is it thus you repay my love? After I disobeyed my mother's commands and made you my wife, will you think me a monster and cut off my head? But go; return to your sisters, whose advice you seem to think preferable to mine. I inflict no other punishment on you than to leave you for ever. Love cannot dwell with suspicion." Cupid
"Drink this, Psyche, and be immortal; nor shall Cupid ever break away from the knot in which he is tied, but these nuptials shall be perpetual."
